Find Out The Season When You Should Wear Tights?

Do tights and stockings take you back to the fifties and sixties? Forget all that. Women’s leg wear fashion has undergone a super evolution from then. Of course, it’s funny how we’re back into the vicious circle of fashion. Yes – you got it right – all the hoopla about tights, stockings and panty hose is back! But you need to know what the correct season to wear tights is. Here are my tips:

Not preferable in summer

Okay, okay, I’m not asking you to dump all your pretty tights in lock and key while its summer. It might be a good idea to wear tights in summer when you’re playing sports or going out in the sun. They’ll prevent tanning your legs. But once you’re home, remove them and put them for a wash. I really wouldn’t suggest you to wear tights all day long in summer. You don’t want to attract a nasty infection, do you? My dermatologist told me to keep my leg wear loose during summer- like pyjamas or cotton cargo pants.

Correct color for correct season

You thought anything that protect your legs is great isn’t it? Well, you’re right. If you must wear tights in the summer, be careful of which color you pick. Jet black and dark browns may irritate your skin. Select types of light, pastel and vibrant colors like yellow, pink, purple, green and classic whites. If you’ve noticed lately, celebrities have been doing crazy things with tights and stockings even in summer. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga (no surprises here!) and Katy Perry wearing their stockings and panty hose as outerwear rather than tucking them in. My tip is that if you must wear them in the summers – be bold and be creative. Let the colors do the magic!

Correct material for summer

Cotton is probably the best material to stick to when it comes to tights, stockings and summer. Nylon tights will stick to your skin and will make it sweaty and dirty. Have you ever observed how thick your tights are? I know these are small things to keep track of, but it’ll help you a lot if you want to wear tights in summer. I suggest you pick sheer, lightweight tights over thick hosiery ones. They’ll be easy to pull up and pull down. Let your skin breathe and remain happy.
